I have one memory in particular that not only stands out but everytime i think about it ...i get this really goofy looking grin on my face! It was shortly after i met Christopher. I was throwing a birthday party for one of my friends and earlier on in the day i wanted to meet up with some other friends and hang out before i left for the party. I called John earlier in the week if he would like to attend the party and if he could take me to pick up the cake which he kindly agreed to. Anyway... i wanted to hang out with some other friends before i left for the party so i called John and asked if he and Christopher would like to get out for awhile before doing the mentioned events and as short notice as it was he said ok. Well we finally meet up with some other friends of ours and as i walked up i noticed that my cousin misty was trying to get Christopher to come to her but he wouldn't , but as i approached Christopher was then asked if he wanted to come see me and the next thing i know is that he was reaching for me to hold him!! I was shocked because everyone there had a longer history with him than i did and it was only the second time that i had met him. I have never forgotten that feeling of being wanted ....it was the most amazing feeling in the world. I will never ever forget that day!!

This memorial website was created to remember our dearest son Christopher Allen Morell who was born in Murfreesboro TN on January 27, 2006 and passed away on January 11, 2008. You will live forever in our memories and our hearts.
Christopher was born a very happy child. Having Christopher was the most joyful time of my life. On January 11th 2008 I received that most dreaded call that all parents dread, that Christopher had been hit by a truck. Hearing those words, it felt as though my heart was broken in two. My husband picked me up @ work and we went to Stonecrest Medical Center Vanderbilt Children's Hospital
If you would like to write about any memories you might have about Christopher please feel free to do so. You can also light a candle in his memory! We would love for you to leave your memories and feedback! I love seeing how many lives my precious angel! really did touch! He was a special little boy who knew nothing but Love
COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR

THE BROKEN
CHAIN
WE LITTLE KNEW THAT MORNING THAT
GOD WAS GOING TO CALL YOUR NAME.
IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY
IN DEATH WE DO THE SAME.
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU,
YOU DID NOT GO ALONE;
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.
YOU LEFT US PEACEFUL MEMORIES,
YOUR LOVE IS STILL OUR GUIDE,
AND THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE YOU,
YOU ARE ALWAYS AT OUR SIDE.
OUR FAMILY CHAIN IS BROKEN
AND NOTHING SEEMS THE SAME,
BUT AS GOD CALLS US ONE BY ONE,
THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN.
"I'll lend to you for a little while,
a child of mine", He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn when he is dead?
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
Hell bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call,
To take him home again.
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy this child will bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
We'll forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we planned,
Well brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand"

I had the blessing and opportunity to meet Christopher last Christmas. I remember he would run around the table with his cousins in the kitchen over and over again. We all had to prepare food in the kitchen so we just walked around them because there was no sense in asking them to stop. They wouldn't and they were having so much fun. We all went to Opryland to see the lights and Christopher sat in the back seat of the van with his cousins and talked on the way. My sons asked me what he was saying and we didnt know but everyone thought it was pretty funny trying to figure it out. I also learned how talented and fast he was at spotting drinks from across the room and sweeping them off the coffee table at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I still think of him whenever I see Thomas. I am so glad we came to visit when we did. Can't wait to visit you again with our Heavenly Daddy.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness.
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you,Christopher,
No one will ever know.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
we pledge to you today,
A special place within our hearts
where you will always stay.
With much love from Mom and Dad

One of my fondest memories of Christopher, is when Sheri would come over to visit and I would pick Christopher up and He would look at himself in the mirror and he would have the biggest grin on his face and he would wave at his reflection.
